Ethereum Clears $400 Overhead Resistance, Pauses at $440 High

Interestingly, Ethereum bulls have broken the $400 overhead resistance after two weeks of price tussle between buyers and sellers. The biggest altcoin has attained a new high of $440.

This is an indication that the uptrend has resumed after stoppage at the overhead resistance. Unfortunately, buyers are facing resistance at the recent high as price reaches the overbought region of the market. When prices reach an overpriced region, it becomes imperative for sellers to emerge to push prices down.

However, in exceptional cases, this may not hold. For instance, in a strong trending market, the overbought or oversold conditions may not hold. Today, the coin is facing resistance at $440. Ethereum may be compelled to make a downward move. If prices fall, it may retrace to $420 and then resume a fresh uptrend. On the upside, a break above $440 will push ETH to the targeted price of $480 high.
